historiographic metafication

is a literary text that asserts an interpretation of the past while also remaining intensely self-reflexive, or self-critical of their own version of the truth as being partial, biased, incomplete.

historiographic metafiction to describe those literary texts that assert an interpretation of the past but are also intensely self-reflexive (i.e. critical of their own version of the truth as being partial, biased, incomplete, etc.) (Poetics, 122-123). Historiographic metafiction, therefore, allows us to speak constructively about the past in a way that acknowledges the falsity and violence of the 'objective' historian's past without leaving us in a totally bewildered and isolated present (as Jameson has it).'
